Ever feel like a surgeon with a scalpel when you start editing. A little cut here, a little cut there...

I judge contests from time to time and see authors sending in manuscripts that aren’t ready for publication for one reason or another. In many cases, it’s because their writing doesn’t flow. The addition of extra words will bog the reader down and cause the novel progress slowly.

When I edit my own work, I do a search for each of the following words and omit them or replace them with stronger descriptive words.

Submissions

I'm actively seeking submissions that would be a blessing to women. Please email me at kdawnbyrd@yahoo.com if you have a devotional or "words of encouragement post" you'd like to have considered for this blog. Have a beautiful day!
